Summary
"The question isn't, 'How do you get through life without being hurt?' Not gonna happen. The question is, 'When you are hurt, how do you deal with it?'"
When we forgive, we first need to release the person who hurt us. But our journey doesn’t end there. We also need to learn to forgive ourselves, the unfairness of life, and finally, learn to release the feelings of anger that we have toward God. This week, John Mark challenges us to address our hurt and provides guidance for us to walk in forgiveness.
Key Scripture Passages: Matthew 18v21-35; Luke 23v32-34; Ephesians 4v30-32

| 0:43.1 | He lied to me straight to my face, went behind my back, |
| 0:48.4 | and cut me out of this business that we had just started, |
| 0:51.6 | stole my intellectual property, went on to make money off of it. |
| 0:54.8 | We had both quit our job to chase after this like craze was years and years ago, to chase after |
| 0:59.8 | this dream that was in our heart, and we had startup money set aside to live on for just a little |

| 1:10.9 | but I had a mortgage payment due in three weeks and no way to pay the |
| 1:14.2 | bills. To top it off he was my best friend or so I thought. And we went to church |
